Acura 2011 RDX Owner's Manual page 29

Your airbag system includes:
Two SRS (supplemental restraint
●
system) front airbags. The driver's
airbag is stored in the center of the
steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked ''SRS
AIRBAG'' (see page 26).
Two side airbags, one for the
●
driver and one for a front
passenger. The airbags are stored
in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked ''SIDE
AIRBAG'' (see page 30).
Two side curtain airbags, one for
●
each side of the vehicle. The
airbags are stored in the ceiling,
above the side windows. The front
and rear pillars are marked ''SIDE
CURTAIN AIRBAG'' (see page 31).
Additional Information About Your Airbags
Automatic front seat belt
●
tensioners (see page 22).
Sensors that can detect a moderate
●
to severe front impact, side impact,
or rollover.
Sensors that can detect whether a
●
child is in the passenger's side
airbag path and signal the control
unit to turn the airbag off (see
page 30).
Sensors that can detect whether
●
the driver's seat belt and the front
passenger's seat belt are latched or
unlatched (see page 20).

seat. If the weight is about 65 lbs
(29 kg) or less (the weight of an
infant or small child), the
passenger's front airbag will be
turned off (see page 28).
A rollover sensor that can detect if
●
your vehicle is about to roll over
and signal the control unit to
deploy both side curtain airbags
(see page 31).
A sophisticated electronic system
●
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and front
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
